    Fuzzy low strings through FRFR on clean or bypass

    Didn't matter much in the end, had to send the second unit back also since one day the volume just completely disappeared. I turned everything up on the AXE FX and on the back of the LFR212 to get some volume and could hear it again. Then it would just randomly return back to the previous...

    Fuzzy low strings through FRFR on clean or bypass

    An update on this, for anyone else looking to buy the Laney LFR 212: it turned out to be a dodgy speaker. I contacted Laney with some video clips and they said it was not right and to take it back. I took it into the store and they did a quick AB test and replaced it with a new one. MUCH better...

    Fuzzy low strings through FRFR on clean or bypass

    Update Although the low cuts worked and also lowering the input gain worked. The issue here presented itself again when I tried to plugin AUX cable and listen to music through the speaker. The muddy/fuzz low end was definitely there. You can see and hear it here...

    Fuzzy low strings through FRFR on clean or bypass

    I did just the AUX in straight to the cab, sounded fine, didn't try the AXE approach. Also switched between -10 and +4, left at -10 for now (I'm still not sure if the Laney is OK for +4 yet - can't find much info on that). Yes, so basically, Input Gain was too high, lowering this from 1.6 to...

    Fuzzy low strings through FRFR on clean or bypass

    Hey guys, so I recently picked up a Laney LFR-212 and have been testing it out. I noticed on clean presets that my lower strings (A E and low B) there is strange kind of fuzz, the guitar doesn't sound as clean coming out of the LFR. Through headphones straight out of the axe fx I don't hear it...

    Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

    This was my old desk setup. Yes, it was connected to the laptop via USB so I could muck around with presets in AxeEdit. The headphones are wired, I'd just plug em into the front whenever I needed. It was a super simple setup. I later moved to a Matrix power amp + Marshall cab setup and now that...

    Can you get away without a foot control?

    I play at home through the Axe and a Matrix into a Marshall cab and I do not use a foot controller. Sometimes I'll plug the laptop in and sit it on top of the Axe and use Axe Edit to mess around, other times I just jam and cycle through presets I like. If you plan on playing in any sort of live...

    Fuzz capabilities of the III

    Looks like they use Nunez MKII amps. I found some clips of the pedals that Nunez sell on their Youtube Channel but none of the actual head, just a pedal that sounds pretty nice for bass.

    Fuzz capabilities of the III

    Since we're on the topic of fuzz, is this a good example? The whole album just sounds massive. I get the feeling the bass player is also using some distortion here? Since you guys have given some examples of fuzz presets - what would be a good start to get Torche's sound on this album?

    Axe-Fx III in Australia

    That's a great price. I paid closer to $3,865, from memory, and it was a little more than that at other times (when our dollar was worse?).

    Mayer through the III

    Like a lot of "pop" artists, there are definitely some better songs in his catalogue if you dig beyond just what is on the radio and released as singles. I didn't think much when I first heard him on the radio, but once I actually listened to the albums I found that he's a lot more than just a...

    Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

    I've moved away from the desktop setup and have a pretty basic setup with a matrix power amp into a Marshall now, digging it: Unfortunately, the 1x12 sits alone now since I sold my Mark V 25 a while back after I got the Axe FX. The guitar is @Burgs old OAF Jazzmonster 7 which has since...

    Which hardware pedal did you keep since getting your Axe-Fx III and why?

    I was tempted to keep my old Neuenaber Immerse pedal, probably should've - for nostalgia.

    Is Guthrie Govan the Best* player?

    I don't know how it happened, but I only got onto Guthrie in the last year or so and was instantly blown away. I've been listening to rock and metal for a while so I probably missed a lot of the fusion type guitarists over the years, which is a shame, because I could've really learned a lot much...

    Amp tones from the ground up

    Thanks, this was really handy. I had no idea about the fact high gains sound better at lower levels: "Master at 7.02 on the Recto model is WAY too high and will sound muddy. You should be around 3-4, maybe less. The reason the highs sound rolled off is because the Master is too high. As you...

    John Petrucci's JP2-C Settings

    Good point. I forgot how bloody sensitive those things were. Kind of painful on my old Mark V 25 when I'd set it just right and then it'd get bumped by accident. It's nice have the actual decimal values of the sliders in the Axe FX.
  20. Milchek

    John Petrucci's JP2-C Settings

    So the JP2-C has two seperate EQ's so you can have different EQ profiles for different channels, but looking at those instagram posts he sets them pretty much identically anyway?

    Axe-Fx III and Headphones

    Philips Fidelio user here and very happy with them. Definitely sound a bit more 'full' out of the Axe FX than out of my laptop when I'm listening to FLAC's, but that's probably just because of the Axe FX itself and whatever presets I'm using.

    Poll: Where do you use your Axe-Fx III mostly?

    Home with headphones for just jamming and practising. Love it, and still haven't even heard it through FRFR or a power amp and cab (those are next on the list, just need to test a few products out).

    Axe-Fx 3 good and reliable for live shows?

    Yep, last video I saw (and posted here) about Metallica's use of them featured the II XL, and they had 2 each for both James and Kirk. We all know the old units are tried and tested, but I suppose the III's are still very new, so we'll have to see if they hold up the same way. I personally had...

    Axe-Fx III - instrument input not working

    Let me first say this, I love the Axe III. It's unreal, and it has made me switch completely over to digital, but it seems everyday there are issues posted here about new units. I myself had a new unit that was replaced for another new unit because of an issue from factory. Reading these...

    This post got me thinking about some old gear. I used to have a Marshal Valvestate VS102 combo, loved the sound of that thing and have been thinking about getting one for the nostalgia, but i know it will just sit in a corner as I only play the Axe III now anyway. Still, it's nice to reminisce...

    FIXED: Axe-Fx III Logic Issues

    Help me decide: Axe-Fx III or AX8

    I see people recommend the II and II XL a lot, and they're great units from what i've seen (hell, I was pretty happy with the Ultra I tried), but ultimately - if budget isn't an issue - you want to be on the latest hardware and upgrade path I would imagine.

    Agreed. That's not to say I wouldn't ever buy a Mesa again. I'm currently just going through a 'minimalism' phase and trying to keep things optimal and efficient, without having lots of guitars sitting around, and lots of amps/cabs (it's been hard). Perhaps one day, I'll pick up another Mesa...
